I started skimming it. "Blah, blah, blah, action for trespass, damage from loss of disk space and time spent processing spam." I've read some of the legal arguments against spam before, and I wasn't paying too much attention.
Then the judge mentioned the expert testimony of a software developer whom the judge named. It stopped me cold. I reread the name a few times to make sure I had it right.
The name was that of a former co-worker, somebody I had worked with briefly several years ago.
The software engineering world is so, so small.
In other news, alert reader christophermrphy correctly points out that I missed a square date. 01/01/01 is indeed a perfectly square date, and a lovely one at that. Thank you!
